Cool red starIts story
15 Lacertae is one of the few bright stars in the Lizard, that discreet constellation winding between Cygnus and Andromeda. M-type, cool and reddish, it shows the colour of a distant ember some 325 light-years off. An aged giant —past the main sequence— casting a warm glow on a too-often forgotten corner of the autumn sky.
